DMA
System Server
Setup
The sections below describe the steps required to perform the initial
installation and setup of a Polycom
®
Distributed Media Application
(DMA
) video collaboration infrastructure server or two-server cluster.
At the end of this procedure, you will have successfully logged into the
Polycom DMA system and be ready to finish configuring the system.
If your enterprise ordered two Polycom DMA servers, it’s imperative that you know
whether the intent is to set up a single co-located two-server DMA cluster or to set
up two separate single-server DMA systems. Once you’ve configured two DMA
servers as a two-server cluster, reconfiguring the servers as separate single-server
DMA systems requires re-imaging the servers.
This document does not address creation of a supercluster (the integration of
multiple geographically distributed DMA clusters into a centrally managed system).
This document addresses only initial installation and setup in a single location.
You can’t create a supercluster until all the systems to be superclustered have been
individually installed in their distributed locations, set up as described in this
document, and then properly configured as standalone systems, as described in
the Polycom DMA 7000 System Operations Guide and online help.
Before you start, we strongly suggest that you read “Introduction to the Polycom
DMA System” in Chapter 1 and all of Chapter 2 of the Polycom DMA 7000 System
Operations Guide, available for download from support.polycom.com.
The servers in a two-server cluster must be co-located. If possible, use the 18"
Ethernet cable included in the server shipment to connect them to each other.
If you have a Polycom CMA system, be aware that a two-server DMA cluster is not
functionally the same as a CMA system with a redundancy server, and the proper
procedure for installation is not the same. We strongly recommend installing and
configuring both servers of a two-server cluster as a single system, as described in
this document.
If you have an existing fully configured and operational single-server system that
you want to expand into a two-server cluster, see “Adding a Second Server” in the
Polycom DMA 7000 System Operations Guide or online help.

interface from your enterprise network. At that point, the majority of the system
configuration work is still ahead of you.
The tasks required to complete the system configuration are described in the
“Polycom DMA System Initial Configuration Summary” section of the online help
(Chapter 2 of the Polycom DMA 7000 System Operations Guide).
The Polycom DMA system’s Flex-based management interface requires Adobe
Flash Player. For stability and security reasons, we recommend always using the
latest version of Flash Player.
Even so, be aware that your browser’s Flash plugin may hang or crash from time to
time. Your browser should alert you when this happens and enable you to reload
the plugin. In some cases, you may need to close and restart your browser.
In the Google Chrome browser, use the Adobe Flash plugin, not the built-in Flash
support.

One server or two? For a single-server system, skip the
Server 2 section below.
Be sure you’ve read and understand the
cautions on page 1 and know whether
you’re setting up a two-server cluster.
Split management and
signaling interfaces, or
combined?
If the same network will be used for both
management (administrative access) and
signaling, skip the signaling IP addresses
and the Shared Signaling Network
Settings section below.
Caution: Split networking is for network
configurations in which signaling and
management traffic are not on the same
network. To split the network
configuration, you must use different
gateways and subnets for management
and signaling, and separate physical
connections for the management and
signaling networks (eth0 for management,
eth2 for signaling).
If management and signaling traffic are
combined on the same network (subnet),
both use the same physical and virtual IP
addresses and the same network
interface.
If you aren’t sure whether split networking
is appropriate, possible, or necessary for
this installation, consult the appropriate IT
staff or network administrator for your
organization.
IPv4, IPv6, or both? Complete the address fields below for
IPv4, IPv6, or both, depending on your
network environment.

System Time
Time zone Time zone in which the system is located.
We strongly recommend selecting the
time zone of a specific geographic location
(such as America/Denver), not one of the
generic GMT offsets (such as GMT+7).
If you really want to use a generic GMT
offset (for instance, to prevent automatic
daylight saving time adjustments), note
that they use the Linux/Posix convention
of specifying how many hours ahead of or
behind local time GMT is. Thus, the
generic equivalent of America/Denver
(UTC-07:00) is GMT+07, not GMT-07.
NTP server #1 IP address of the primary NTP time server
(optional, but strongly recommended;
required before creating or joining a
supercluster).
NTP server #2 IP address of a second NTP time server
(optional, but strongly recommended).
NTP server #3 IP address of a third NTP time server
(optional, but strongly recommended).
Routing Configuration If you know you need to set up a special
network routing rule or rules, specify the
information below for each rule.
In a split network configuration, routing
rules are necessary for proper routing of
network traffic.
Caution: In split network configuration,
the management network and signaling
network must use different gateways and
subnets.
Destination host/network The IP address of the destination network
host or segment.

Unpack and Install the Hardware Components
The Polycom DMA system uses either one or two Polycom-branded Dell
servers.
To unpack and install the hardware
1 If you purchased Polycom RMX conference platforms (MCUs) with your
Polycom DMA system servers, unpack and install them as described in
the Getting Started Guide for the model you purchased.
2 Examine the Polycom DMA system shipping containers for damage.
Polycom is not responsible for damage sustained during shipment.
3 Open and review the container packing slips.
4 Open the containers and examine the contents. A single-server Polycom
DMA system shipment includes:
1 Polycom DMA system server
2 power cords
1 rack-mount kit (four-post)
1 bezel key
1 server documentation set
1 copy of the Polycom DMA
System Quick Start Guide (which contains
this procedure)
1 Polycom DMA system recovery disk (included for recovery
purposes; the software on the disk is already installed on the server)
Prefix length The CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain
Routing) value that, together with the
destination host/network address, defines
the subnet for this route.
For IPv4, a prefix length of 24 is
equivalent to specifying a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. A prefix length of 16 is
equivalent to specifying a subnet mask of
255.255.0.0.
Interface In split network configuration, specify the
interface for this route.
Via IP address of router for this route.
Optional and only needed for non-default
routers.

2 Ethernet cables, short and long (not used for single-server system)
Your license document
If you ordered the optional 2-post rack mounting kit, it’s in a separate box.
A two-server system shipment contains a second set of the above items.
5 Examine the contents for damage.
If you find damage, file a claim with the delivery carrier. Polycom is not
responsible for damage sustained during shipment.
6 Remove all of the components from their containers.
7 Install the Polycom DMA server(s) according to the server
documentation. To rack-mount a server, refer to the Rack Installation
Guide and use the brackets provided.
8 Connect the Polycom DMA server(s) to the network:
a Connect the GB 1 Ethernet port of each server to the enterprise
network to be used for management (or combined) traffic.
This is the eth0 network interface, which must be used for this
purpose.
b For a split network configuration, connect the GB 3 Ethernet port of
each server to the network to be used for signaling traffic.
This is the eth2 network interface, which must be used for this
purpose.
c For a two-server system, connect one of the Ethernet cables included
in the server shipment between the GB 2 ports of the two servers.
This is the eth1 network interface, which must be used for this
purpose.
If the system recovery disk is inserted into a PC that can boot from the optical drive
and that PC is rebooted, it performs a full disk wipe and a clean installation of the
operating system and DMA software, destroying all existing data on the PC.
If your server shipment was sent shortly after a new release, the box may contain
two disks. One contains the software installed on the server at manufacturing, and
the other contains the newer version, which was added before shipment but not
installed on the server. In that case, you should use the newer version disk (check
the version number on the label) to install that version of the software.

9 Remove the bezel(s) from the server(s).
Configure the Polycom DMA System Server(s)
You can configure the Polycom DMA system server(s) using the Polycom
DMA USB Configuration Utility you downloaded from support.polycom.com
and the USB memory stick included in the server package.
To configure the Polycom DMA system server(s)
1 Connect the blank USB memory stick to the Windows PC to which you
downloaded the ZIP file containing the Polycom DMA USB
Configuration Utility.
2 Unzip the Polycom DMA USB Configuration Utility files to the USB
memory stick.
3 Start the USB Configuration Utility by double-clicking
dma7000-usb-gui.exe
.
Don’t turn on the server(s) at this time.
To configure the system server(s) without using the USB Configuration Utility, see
“Alternate Procedure: Configure the Polycom DMA System Server(s) Without Using
the USB Stick” on page 15.
The USB Configuration Utility files must be at the root of the drive, not in a folder.
One of the files is autorun.inf, which enables the USB Configuration Utility to start
automatically when the USB stick is inserted into a PC that supports autorun. In a
highly secure environment, this file may not be allowed.

14 To replace the system software on the server(s) with a newer version, do
the following:
a Turn on the first (or only) server and insert the system recovery disk
for that version.
b Insert the USB stick into one of the server’s USB ports.
c Reboot the first (or only) server. Leave the second server off.
The server boots from the DVD, and the installation commences.
About 15-20 minutes later, the DVD ejects and the server reboots.
After it reboots, the server reads its network and system parameters
from the USB stick and applies them.
d Go to step 16.
15 If you’re not replacing the system software, do the following:
a On the first (or only) server, insert the USB stick into one of the server’s
USB ports.
b Turn on the first (or only) server. Leave the second server off.
After it boots, the server reads its network and system parameters
from the USB stick and applies them.
c Go to step 16.
16 Wait for the front panel LCD to display DMA Ready. Then disconnect
the USB stick and if applicable, remove the disk. If you’re installing a
single-server system, skip to step 19.
Make sure the server(s) are still turned off.
The Polycom DMA system software is already installed on the server(s), so the
system recovery disk isn’t needed to set up a new system. Using it overwrites the
same software already on the server and needlessly lengthens the setup process.
Put the disk away in a safe place in case it’s ever needed to restore the system.
Exception: If your server shipment was sent shortly after a new release, the box
may contain two disks. One contains the software installed on the server at
manufacturing, and the other contains the newer version, which was added before
shipment but not installed on the server.
If you receive two disks containing different versions of the software, you should
use the disk with the newest version (check the version number on the label) to
install that version of the software (on both servers of a two-server system).
Note: During the initial installation and setup process described here, the only
software that can be installed is the version on a system recovery disk. Any later
patches or upgrades posted at support.polycom.com can be installed from the
system’s Software Upgrade page after configuring the system (but before
superclustering).

14 Polycom, Inc.
17 If you’re installing a two-server cluster and replacing the system software
with a newer version, do the following:
a Turn on the second server and insert the system recovery disk for that
version.
b Reboot the second server. Leave the first server on.
The second server boots from the DVD, and the installation commences.
About 15-20 minutes later, the DVD ejects and the server reboots. After it
reboots, the second server detects the first server, gets its configuration
settings from it, and joins the cluster. When done, both servers’ LCDs
display DMA Clustered.
c Go to step 19.
18 If you’re installing a two-server cluster and not replacing the system
software, turn on the second server. Leave the first server on.
After it boots, the second server detects the first server, gets its
configuration settings from it, and joins the cluster. When done, both
servers’ LCDs display DMA Clustered.
If the LCD displays DMA Installed, the system software is installed, but not
configured. Make sure the USB stick is set to apply system parameters and
inserted into a functioning USB port, and then reboot the server.
If the LCD displays anything else or nothing, stop. Contact Polycom Global
Services for assistance.
If you’re not sure whether you’re installing a two-server cluster, please re-read
page 1.
Both servers in the cluster must be running the same version of the software, so if
you installed a newer version on the first server, you must do so on the second.
If the LCDs aren’t displaying DMA Clustered, stop. Contact Polycom Global
Services for assistance.

The Polycom DMA system’s management interface appears, displaying
the Dashboard. From its menus, you can complete your system setup.
The tasks required to complete the system configuration are described in
the “Polycom DMA System Initial Configuration Summary” section of the
online help (Chapter 2 of the Polycom DMA Operations Guide), which
refers you to the relevant online help or Polycom DMA Operations Guide
topics for detailed descriptions and procedures as appropriate.
Alternate Procedure: Configure the Polycom DMA System
Server(s) Without Using the USB Stick
If for some reason you can’t use the Polycom DMA USB Configuration Utility
on the USB memory stick, the following procedure enables you to complete
the initial setup using only a laptop PC and an Ethernet cable.
This is possible because Polycom DMA system servers are shipped with
default network settings you can use to connect to the system. The settings are:
IP address:
192.168.1.101
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
Default gateway:
192.168.1.1
To configure the Polycom DMA system server(s) using a laptop PC
1 Follow the unpack and install procedure (page 8) through step 7. Do not
connect the server(s) to the enterprise network.
2 Configure the network settings on your laptop to put it on the same
network segment as the Polycom DMA system server(s) (see the server’s
default settings above). For instance, you can use the following settings:
IP address:
192.168.1.20
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
Default gateway:
192.168.1.1
Don’t turn off a Polycom DMA system server by simply unplugging it or otherwise
removing power, especially if it’s going to remain off for some time. If a server loses
power without being properly shut down, the RAID controller fails to shut down,
eventually depleting its battery. If that happens, the server can’t be restarted without
user input, requiring a keyboard and monitor.

8 Click Update. When asked to confirm restarting the system, click Yes.
The system begins to reboot.
9 While the server is rebooting, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the
laptop and connect the server’s GB 1 port to the enterprise network to be
used for management (or combined) traffic. For a split network
configuration, connect the GB 3 port to the network to be used for
signaling traffic.
The reboot process takes several minutes. When it’s finished, the front
panel LCD displays DMA Ready.
If the LCD displays anything else or nothing, stop. Contact Polycom Global
Services for assistance.
In a split network configuration, routing rules are necessary for proper routing of
network traffic. If you aren’t sure what rule or rules you need, consult the
appropriate IT staff or network administrator for your organization.
